Redlining in reverse: Impact of gentrification on Triangle's historically Black neighborhoods


90 years after many Black Triangle neighborhoods were redlined by the federal government, the process is now happening in reverse in many of the same communities -- long-distressed or historically black communities are now being transformed by gentrification.
It's happening in Raleigh and in Durham too. "We used to have family reunions right here in this yard," said Jackie Manns Hill, from the backyard of a small cottage in Durham's Walltown neighborhood. It's the home built by Hill's ancestor George Wall; the community's namesake who built the first home here.
Hill thinks back fondly to the happy times she spent here as a child. She moved back to Walltown to retire in her grandmother's home a few blocks away from George Wall's homestead. But, the times in this historically-black neighborhood are changing fast.

What is 'redlining' and how it doomed generations of Black families in Durham


DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- The lines of housing discrimination in the Triangle were often drawn in red. ABC11's month-long look at the past, present and future of Black history continues with an exploration of redlining and how the foundation of housing inequity was built here at home.
In Durham, part of that story can be told through ABC11 Anchor Joel Brown's very own family tree. To help tell the story of Durham's Walltown neighborhood, he drove there to see his cousins, Jackie Manns-Hill and Annie Smith Vample. All of them are descendants of Walltown's namesake, George Wall.
"This is your great great grandfather, George Wall and his second wife, Lily Wall," Manns-Hill said holding up a black and white photograph of Wall and his wife standing in front of his one-story wooden house with a brick chimney. "The original homeplace that he built on Onslow Street when he worked at Trinity College before it became Duke University."

In Its Quest to Become Anti-Racist, Duke Must Reckon With a Past That Echoes Into the Present


In Its Quest to Become Anti-Racist, Duke Must Reckon With a Past That Echoes Into the Present
On the job training session at campus dining in 1947.
“Can Duke really become anti-racist?”
The question was emblazoned on the cover of the 2020 winter edition of the Duke University alumni magazine and probed with essays, feature stories, and text excerpts from podcasts—mostly responding to the larger racial reckoning that swept America following George Floyd’s death.
Letters to the editor in the issue offered mixed reviews about the magazine’s coverage of the Black Lives Matter protests. But an incendiary letter submitted by Charles Philip Clutts, a 1961 Duke graduate, unleashed anger on social media. Clutts called the “constant reminders” of systemic racism “wearisome” and said Black men should marry, take care of their children, avoid drugs, stay out of jail, and realize that “acting white by studying is not a bad thing.”
